The former PM is now raking in cash by giving speeches – but still is devastated by Brexit

The former Prime Minister lost everything when Britain voted to leave the EU in last year’s referendum – resigning from his post the same day.

And just a few months later he stepped down as the MP for Witney, returning to his Oxfordshire home to write his memoirs in a posh shed.

Today Allsopp rushed to defend the couple after criticisms of some of the joke items they have in their house, such as an Enid Blyton parody called ‘Five on Brexit Island’ and a sign saying ‘Calm Down Dear, It’s Only a Recession’.

Labour said it was “astonishing” that the former PM was treating the economic crash as “a joke”.
